INVENTOR THOMAS DONALD HURDEL ATTORNEY United States Patent I 2,998,821APPLICATOR FOR A PAINTED EYEBROW SHAPE Thomas Donald Hurdel, 42-29 JudgeSt.,

Elmhurst, N.Y. Filed Sept. 30, 1953, Ser. No. 764,323 2 Claims.- (Cl.132-887) The present invention relates to an applicator for a paintedeyebrow shape which permits of easy application of any predeterminedeyebrow shape.

It is known to use eyebrow stencils which are equipped with an apertureof any predetermined shape and thus permit eyebrows to be painted by theuse of such single stenciling device. It has been found, however, thatsuch stenciling devices did not provide an accurate contour of theeyebrows upon application and, in addition, required a brush, pencil, orthe like for painting the eyebrows through the stencil.

It is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide anapplicator which is connected with a pad holder, which carries a padsoaked with eyebrow fluid, so that upon engagement of the pad with anembossed portion of the applicator, the eyebrow fluid -is applied to thetop face of said embossed portion, whereupon the pad holder with the padis removed into an operative position and the eyebrow painting may beapplied to the face of the user. It is to be understood that theembossed portion of the applicator will vary in accordance to thedesired shape and will be of a different shape for each user of theapplicator.

It is another object of the present invention to provide two applicatorswhich are preferably hingedly connected with each other and each of theapplicators has such embossed portion of a predetermined desirableshape. The pad holder is secured to the same hinge which connects thetwo applicators and thus may be turned first to one of the applicatorsto apply the paint fluid to the embossed portion of one of theapplicators and, upon application of one of the painted eyebrows, thepad holder is turned to the embossed portion of the other applicator tobe turned again into an operative position, whereupon the other eyebrowpainting is applied.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide anapplicator which includes means for interchangeably and removablyreceiving a pad containing the eyebrow fluid.

With these and other objects in view, which will become apparent in thefollowing detailed description, the present invention will be clearlyunderstood in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:

FIGURE 1 is a perspective front view of a double applicator to which apad holder containing a pad is hingedly connected;

FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the eyebrow applicator in closed position;

FIG. 3 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a section along the lines 4-4 of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a section along the lines 5-5 of FIG. 1; and

F1616 is a section along the lines 66 of FIG. 2.

Referring now to the drawing, the applicator for a painted eyebrow shapecomprises two applicator members 1 and 2 which are preferably of plasticor any other suitable material and which have a straight end portion 3at the inner end and a substantially pointed end portion 4 at its outerend. Each of the applicator members 1 and 2 is equipped with an embossedportion 5 of a predetermined configuration and formed exactly to thedesired shape of the painted eyebrows when applied by the user.

Both applicator members 1 and 2 are hingedly connected at the innerstraight portions 3 by means of a convenice tional hinge member 6, sothey may be turned upon the axis of the hinge member 6 which issubstantially parallel to the straight inner edge portion 3 of each ofthe applicator members 1 and -2, which arrangement permits acompleteoverlapping of both applicator members 1 and 2' in aninoperative position or they may be turned into operative position uponthe hinge member 6 by turning the same substantially into the sameplane.

A pad holder 7 is hingedly connected to the same hinge member 6 to whichthe applicator members 1 and 2 are secured, so that the pad holder maybe turned upon said hinge member 6 either over the embossed portion 5 ofthe applicator member 1 or over the embossed portion 5 of the applicatormember 2.

The pad holder 7 is formed as a longitudinal frame defining openings 8on both sides thereof and is equipped with a longitudinal slot 9provided on the top face 10 of the pad holder 7. A pad 11 is retained inthe framelike padholder which pad may be inserted through the slot 9thereof. The pad 11 is made of a material capable of retaining a largequantity of fluid and in particular, of eyebrow liquid, normally usedfor application of painted eyebrow shapes.

Upon turning the pad holder 7 towards the applicator member 1. upon theaxis of the hinge member 6, the pad li'will transfer some of the eyebrowfluid on to the outer face of the embossed portion 5 of the applicatormember 1. The pad holder 7 is then turned into a position in which itsubstantially engages the other applicator memher 2, in which positionthe left painted eyebrow shape of the user may be applied to the face bytouching the hat embossed portion 5 of the applicator member 1 on theskin of the user by a slight pressure action thereto.

In the same manner, the right eyebrow fluid is applied to the right eyeof the user by engaging the pad 11 with embossed portion 5 of the secondapplicator member '2, and upon turning the pad holder 7 into a positionclose to the applicator member 1 the embossed portion 5 of theapplicator member 2 may be brought in touching position with the skin ofthe user and the right eyebrow thereby be applied.

In non-operative position, both applicator members 1 and 2 may bebrought into engaging position with the pad holder 7 and its pad 11,respectively, to assume a position as clearly shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 6.

While I have disclosed one embodiment of the present invention, it is tobe understood that this embodiment is given by example only and not in alimiting sense, the

scope of the present invention being determined by the objects and theclaims.
